Using Dried Banana Stems in an Aquarium
They can be used in a natural aquarium set up to give it a more natural appearance. Perfect for Shrimp, Betta Fish, Discus and South American Cichlids and other fish aquariums.
Banana Stems are perfect for black water aquariums as well as many other setups. The stems will provide shelter to fish fry and small species of shrimp, crabs, crayfish, snails, and other fish while maintaining a natural look in the aquarium.
They also serve as an ideal growth medium for biofilm and diatoms, both of which are key food sources to countless aquatic animal species, including shrimp and other invertebrates as well as fish.
These stems are fairly light weight and will eventually get waterlogged and sink. However boiling them will speed this process up.
